This year my count was on coastal India. West coast . The day I watched the sea eagle fly over me was a great feeling.

I confess that when I saw the number of countries and individuals who participated I began to weep. At a time when the biodiversity of our planet is in such danger and the news about the natural world is so often dire, this reminder that there are people everywhere around the world who care enough to notice and acknowledge the creatures with whom we share this planet was really really appreciated. Thank you so much!

I was so excited to do this but with this horrible pandemic, I wasn’t able to go anywhere. In my area (Pinckney, Mi.) my house is in a swamp area. I was able to see one red headed woodpecker, (at a neighbors bird feeder) and a group of, not sure what. Too far in the water area to identify, but looked the size of cranes. I will do this again, and happy to help anyway I can. It made me excited to look for more birds when the weather is better. That timeframe, I was basically locked in and snowbound. Wish I had binoculars you can take photos with (is there such a thing. Lol)

I did the Christmas bird count for around 10 seasons late 90's into mid 2000 and we noted a decline in transients and some for locals. Is there anyone contrasting past and present? I've noted a big decline in the local finch, sparrow and transient numbers. I'm in the flyway on the east side of the Northern Sierra.

I had not participated in 2 years. Now that I am in North Carolina, I have all sorts of "new birds" to enjoy.

I am in Texas and our power outages also affected my phone and the ebird app. On Feb 13 the app had some kind of glitch and it recorded no time period but did capture my bird count (one of 2 submitted that day). It was a day with a flock of 70 robins and 20 plus cedar waxwings so was significant. How can I correct the time error? Thanks.

You are my peeps! It's been my experience that people who love people love Nature in all her manifestations. Birds sang out their hearts during lockdown and kept my spirit alive. I welcome them back this Spring :-)

What's up with the swirls in your bird sign? We know what that means and we also know who went to Cornell and the things done in the dark. Repent before it's too late.

Colorado: I am retired and go every day getting those shots that are so hard to get. I am big into the Big birds of prey but will shoot, camera click, anything that will make you stop breathing. I use a Nikkon D7500 with a NIKKOR 300mm and 70mm lens. My settings are always setting custom at 5k and still shot action. I have a photo of an owl that is flying, pitch dark except headlights, in front of my car at 10,000k ft., Jefferson Colorado, with a 10 foot wingspan. He flew for about 10 seconds in front of the car going 55 mph. Each wingtip were about 8 to 10 inches outside of each left / right of the front of the car. I hope that made sense. This dude was HUGE...... I did the hummingbird still shots for awhile as well. If anyone ever wants to share their knowledge or excitement you can email me at johnmichael64@comcast.net I am now, today, into some great Colorado mountain top pics ~ Salute! This piece was great ~ Thx Cornell Lab

Why did the video move so fast over the birds and so slow over the people. I was really disappointed in barely being able to view the birds.

Too cold that weekend here. -25C. House Sparrows, Magpies, Flicker, Nut hatch(red b) of course Chickadees, and the odd Downey. Of course this is every day. The sparrow count is 20, 30 , 50, 100...depends on the day. The max flock is around 150. I put out various feed, and since I have done that I have seen a total of 30 species, including 6 other sparrow types. Clay Colored, Lincoln, White Throated, White Crowned, Savanah, and Chipping. Coolest was the Lazuli Bunting a few years back. Last spring. was a first for Yellow Rumped Warblers. Cheers

This was such fun and an eye-opener for how many species frequent the area around my home. Can I continue to submit checklists ongoing or do I have to wait until February 2022 before I can submit checklists and photos? Thank you for encouraging and supporting this global event!

@Sim Wood Thank you so much, Sim! That is exactly what I wanted to know! I can continue to log sightings during the year for my learning and eBird account.
Sim Wood5 days ago
Results towards GBBC can be added until March 1st but you can add any sightings of your own on eBird at any time though, I regularly submit whenever I've seen something of note. When you are logged in on the desktop site the Submit button is to the right of the word eBird and on a mobile page it is in the three bar menu, or you can use the app too.
Cornell Lab of Ornithology6 days ago
Yes you can! Data entry remains open until March 1, but the information you enter should only be from the four days of the Great Backyard Bird Count.
